The problem with your "explaination" of the the chamber is that they wore the masks on the way in, took them off at a signal, sang as much of the hymn as they could then left.

The CS gas lets you know if you have a good seal with your mask. Removing the mask and singing the hymn is purely for "motivational" purposes. As I stated earlier, CS is a nonlethal agent, so "handling" it is pointless beyond its effect as a training aid. Learning how to get a proper seal so you can survive lethal agents in combat is the sole reason for the training. You continue to confuse training aids and methods with the training objective.

It was me that asked for PROOF of problems with unit cohesion, not more of your unsupported supposition.

Millenia of human history is proof aplenty, but it doesn't fit your feminist fantasies.

You said the strongest woman was only as strong as the weakest man. That's an exact quote. There's an example of the strongest woman. You lose.

You might find a few hormone-laced freaks who can pump iron, run well, look mean and speak with deep voices. But if you dredged up the meanest bulldyke you could find, she would still be dead meat in the infantry. Wishing yourself a man won't make you one...

Of course you're mixing eras. This was in the 60s, we didn't have the radar dome over all troops back then, and we didn't have enemies that threw lethal agents. Of course once again you keep shifting because you clearly don't know all the facts, and I'm not in the least bit suprised.

Millenia of human history said we couldn't fly. Millenia of human history said fortifications and entrenchment were the only way to fight war. Millenia of human history said democracies and republics don't work. A significant part of American history is proving mellenia of human history wrong.

And here you go weaseling out. You said "the strongest woman", not the strongest qualified woman from within your narrowly defined scope. THE STRONGEST WOMAN. Your words, you were wrong. Deal.
